Special moves:


Blockbusters:

 

Wait for her to stop attacking then combo her. Cerebella is a good counter to Cerebella since you can just stay blocked and let her try to throw you and then you break that throw and she'll be staggered. More than enough time to counter attack when she's staggered, assuming she doesn't have the burst move.

 

I'll update it with the corrections, and yes moves that count as throws will receive a damage boost. Moves like Merry Go-rilla, Diamond Drop, Grab Bag, Pummel Horse, etc.

50% is a pretty good chance when most moves you equip are throw based, a fully upgraded Headstrong can inflict both cripple and armor break on your enemy so it improves your survivability by 25% and makes them take 25% more damage from all sources, not only increased throw damage like Understudy.

 

Yeah you're right, with the current way of how the game handles effects inflicted during the animation of moves and blockbusters, Understudy is actually a better fighter than Headstrong. I've updated the list accordingly.

 

No, you can get her from Premiere, Cerebella relic, and Shard to get

 

Updated for 1.5

Added Brain Freeze to the list

 

There's a lot of factors that influence where a fighter is ranked on the tier list. Signature ability has probably the most influence, and we don't know how much ATK and HP Brain Freeze has until maintenance ends and she becomes obtainable.

Brain Freeze is gonna be as easy to beat as any other Cerebella, since her SA will only turn damage that exceed 35 combo to 0. Not a lot of attacks will hit past that, and the high combo characters and attacks usually do significant damage before their damage is reduced to 0.

 

I find Cerebella to be one of the most easy AI to fight against. Painwheel and Big Band in the other hand are hella annoying.

 

I fight Diaz's and Blue's team all the time (they have 2 maxed Harlequins) and most of the time Cerebella uses MGR when she's across the room from my fighter. There was this one time where Diaz's Harlequin who had 5 MGR used up all of them at once while I was out of range, it was hilariously bad and I wish I recorded that.
